Bringing literacy into the music room is so important.  But, sometimes music teachers can feel stuck in knowing how exactly to do this.  That's the reason I brought Vicky Weber on the podcast.  She's not only a children's book author, with music education focused books in fact, but she's passionate about brining literacy to kids. In this episode, she talks about literature in music education including: why literacy matters in the music room ways to use books in your music lessons what inspired her to begin writing her own books how literacy in the music room helps with cross curricular learning Vicky Weber is a musician and an elementary educator with a love for children's literature. As a Puerto Rican author of Taíno descent, she strives to create picture books that are fun, engaging, and educational. All her current titles are based on her background in music education or her heritage.
